My Happy Ending Episode 13 Ending Explained
Episode 13 of My Happy Ending is full of climaxes, and the storyline takes a gripping turn as Jang Nara’s Seo Jae-won narrowly escapes the dangerous clutches orchestrated by Kwon Young-ik (Kim Myung-soo). The episode begins with Jae-won being held captive and tortured by Young-ik and his accomplice Yoon-jae.
